Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is delighted with current form of Willian.

Willian, 31, is in talks to extend his contract and has openly declared his loyalty to Chelsea after almost 200 games in more than six years.

Lampard said: “I knew he had that talent before I got the job.

“But the last year or two I have looked at him from afar and wasn't sure how much he was enjoying it.

“A bit of body language, in and out sometimes. My feeling at the start of the season was to get into his head, tell him how much I feel about him and how I see him.

“Get him fit, get him working off the ball because I know he can.

“He has this incredible ability to burst away from people. If there was one thing I wanted from him at the start of the season it was a question of can you score more goals? Because your talent says you should do.

“When the other options are younger, experience certainly helps.

“All his team-mates love him, he is a low maintenance player and I am really happy with him."
